STARTLING TIDINGS. 'And let me the canakin clink, clink! A soldier's a man; A life's but a span; Why, then, let a soldier drink!' I hummed the song of the subtle Iago in the Moor of Venice, and, like him, adding-- 'Some wine, ho!' stepped towards the tree under which the Marquis and his two followers were regaling. The latter stared at me with the usual insolence of liveried valets, until their master raised his hat, exclaiming-- 'Pardieu! who do I see?
